Solution

The correct option is A Plant conservation
In the 1970s, an organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement. The name of the movement comes from the word embrace, as the villagers hugged the trees and prevented the contractors from cutting them.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
